BREAKING CHANGES

• Object API refactor.

Object API methods that write DAG nodes now return a CID instead of a DAG node. Affected methods:

• ipfs.object.new
• ipfs.object.patch.addLink
• ipfs.object.patch.appendData
• ipfs.object.patch.rmLink
• ipfs.object.patch.setData
• ipfs.object.put

Example:

// Before
const dagNode = await ipfs.object.new()

// After
const cid = await ipfs.object.new() // now returns a CID
const dagNode = await ipfs.object.get(cid) // fetch the DAG node that was created

IMPORTANT: DAGNode instances, which are part of the IPLD dag-pb format have been refactored.

These instances no longer have multihash, cid or serialized properties.

This effects the following API methods that return these types of objects:

• ipfs.object.get
• ipfs.dag.get

See ipld/js-ipld-dag-pb#99 for more information.
